Pattern Giveaway: Mouse House Creations Ladies Caroline

As you may know, I love sewing clothes for my daughters, but any chance I get to sew something for myself gives me a whole 'nother level of satisfaction. Not only does this allow me to tailor the garment to fit my body perfectly, but most times, the cost is dramatically lower to make clothes myself.

Hayley over at Mouse House Creations is about to release her newest pattern for women: The Ladies Caroline Party Dress and she has been kind enough to allow me to give away the pattern to one of you once it is released!!

So, let's talk the details of this new pattern. It comes in sizes 0-22. It has 4 different hem lengths, 3 different sleeve lengths, options for pleated or gathered skirt, optional collar, optional belt loops and optional pockets! Just think of all of the different looks you can create from just one pattern.

Here's a photo of me in the 1st Caroline that I made:

Have I convinced you yet that you NEED this pattern? Really, you do. So go ahead and enter the giveaway below. 1 lucky winner will be chosen on Thursday February 13th. Winner will be notified and emailed the pattern once it is released. Pattern is slated to be released after February 13th, but an exact release date has not been determined yet.

I would make the cap sleeve knee length version to coordinate with the Easter dress I just made for my daughter. add the belt or a sash? If you want, you can check out my daughters Easter dress here on my blog: http://sew-not-perfect.blogspot.com/2014/01/princess-dress-from-candy-castle.html?showComment=1392038570077#c8546490667970420248

OMGoodness!!!! I love the pink one you made!!! This can go from retro to modern! I love it! I'd make the above the knee style like that one to wear with my boots! It's still FREEZING where I live and I'm dying to do a little selfish sewing! :)

Seriously, I want to make each and every style shown in the pattern picture! But for starters, maybe the 3/4 inch sleeve, knee length version! Not sure if I want to go causal or more formal. If causal, a springy floral cotton. If formal, some black and white print..... :) Can't wait for its release!

What a beautiful ladies (LADIES!!!!) pattern! So nice to have a versatile dress pattern on hand for any occasion! I'd love to make a tea length one using a border print fabric (reckon I can get away with some Wee Wander?)
